Greetings, 

I have a file on my PC that has data that needs to be copied into a specific
member of a file on my AS/400.  I need to parse the data into the proper
fields, rearrange the data and add some additional fields to the original
data. I have worked out how to do most of this, but am having a problem with
a particular field, which in the resulting file on the AS/400 needs to be a
packed decimal number.  What can I do to convert an ascii decimal number to
a packed decimal when I don't have access to RPG or anything else to write a
conversion program?  Is there a function in REXX to accomplish this?  Only
one of the numeric fields in this file is packed, the rest are zoned.

Thanks, 

-doug
